Well that was cringe-inducing.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

English voice acting, hoo boy.

 

[LordOfLore]

Wow, 6 minutes is kinda long for a cast video. At least we won't get any "cringe", "urgh" etc posts right away since they've to watch the entire video.

Edit: False alarm, it still happened.

 

[AAMARMO]

Good Cast but im going with JP DUB.

Spoiler

No Troy Baker .

Yeaah.

I don't really care for the English voice acting but didn't see anything cringe here.
There's new footage of Luna and Leviathan, BTW.

Too late.

 

[Strangelove77]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the cast for all the dumb jrpg nonsense they're going to have to say with a straight face.

The video went up 10 minutes earlier than this thread - I'd already watched it.

 

[Falk]

Spoiler

No Troy Baker .

Have there been any games that used both Mercer and Baker? Seems like hilarity would ensue.

 

[Whompa02]

Well that was cringe-inducing.

2 minutes after it was posted. 6 minute long video. Seems legit.

 

[Boke1879]

Not bad at all IMO

 

[Chase17]

Edit: I Lied

Resident Evil 6 already had that happen.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Prompto's VA looks like Ardyn and Ignis' VA looks like Old Gladio

Can't wait to see Iris' VA talk about her character with a straight face.

 

[Alienous]

Noctis, Prompto and Ignis' voice actors might have been better off just using their regular speaking voices.

 

[Asd202]

So about Luna

Spoiler

it seems like she's paying time for Noctis to arrive and she's getting hurt by Leviathan in the process.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looked pretty good to me. Why does everyone seem to hate the English voice acting so much?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Looked pretty good to me. Why does everyone seem to hate the English voice acting so much?

same reason everyone hates dubs of anime

 

[DKHF]

The only of them I've heard of before is Matthew Mercer.

Some of the previously unseen (at least by me) footage shown there (like more with Luna) looked pretty good visually.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

As a non-native English speaker I think they sound fine.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Hope they have one video for every dub. Please.

EDit: Luna sounds good. Rest sounds like reading from paper and not talking to each other.

 

[SPAW]

Luna is surprisingly good.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

I enjoyed Ignis and Luna's voices, but the majority of the cast just didn't fit.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I'm cool with these voices here, but I'll still probably play it in Japanese first. I'd always rather play in the native language if possible.

 

[AuthenticM]

The guy voicing Prompto is wearing both a fedora and a wife-beater.

Amazing

 

[Geg]

Ah, I knew Cor sounded familiar in the 50 minute video from last week. I thought it might have been Nolan North at first; he sounded a lot like Vossler from FFXII.

 

[BBboy20]

Raymond is Mumen Rider in One Punch Man right now.

Mercer as Cor? Bingo.

 

[Ferr986]

Looked pretty good to me. Why does everyone seem to hate the English voice acting so much?

I dunno. Honestly, I always find Japanese VA more cringey (and english is not even my native language).

 

[raven777]

 

[DarkLordMalik]

The footage featuring Luna had me hyped. Can't wait for the full Leviathan reveal.

 

[Kalor]

Ardyn's voice suits them really well.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Matthew Mercer plays Cor Leonis

Cor LEONis.

Leon S Kennedy.

 

[Kureizu]

I want that soundtrack now please.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

EDIT: Beaten

 

[Kouriozan]

What's worrying is that this game is supposed to be dubbed in multiple languages and there is still no news about it so far
I fear for the French dub.

Edit : wow at those PS1 era building in those pics.

 

[Listonosh]

I have to say, probably the one time where picking English as the default will be an easy choice for me. All of them sound pretty great IMO.

 

[semiconscious]

Looked pretty good to me. Why does everyone seem to hate the English voice acting so much?

well, my problem's not with the voice acting so much. it's more with the utterly formulaic nature of the cast of characters ...

The little we hear sounds very very good.

edit: another long one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NZJh464CV8

Gladio is voice by the guy who did Garus in Mass Effect.

 

[artsi]

 

[michaeltraps]

I'm shockingly ok with this voice cast. Not sure why people are so down on it.

They've yet to top XII cast and performance, though.

 

[Logash]

Luna footage was great and I loved seeing Noct with some more depth. Not as bad as all the other stuff I've seen with the English voices but I'm still not 100% sold on Promto.

 

[raven777]

Those water leaking in the background....

 

[Chaserjoey]

EDIT: Beaten

I can not wait, I'm so excited.

Take note, FFXV marketing team. From hereon in, everything released relating to FFXV shall contain the lady Lunafreya.

 

[Christhor]

Leon S Kennedy.

Pottery.

[Squire]

Oh, Kari is my favorite! Glad to see her.

 

[sensui-tomo]

best thing is seeing that ardyn's voice is the same from kingsglaive. Was hoping the only disconnect we'd have from that movie would be regis and luna's voice and it seems to be the case.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

LOL at people commenting on the buildings. Is this Reddit? This reminds me of when someone posts a picture of a hot girl and people start commenting on some minuscule detail in the background instead of noticing the girl.
